Supporting Our Herd
GallopNYC has been serving people with disabilities in New York City since 2005, thanks to our amazing herd of 30 wonderful horses. The ideal therapy horse is sound, has an unflappable temperament and unlimited heart. Our horses come from many different backgrounds including the show ring, the amateur circuit and the racetrack. Keeping our equine educators happy and healthy is a priority, as the horses are the true heroes of our programs.
By becoming a GallopNYC Guardian, for $5000 a year, you can provide the means necessary to continue the high-quality care of our horses so they can continue their important work. Below, we’re pleased to introduce you to our herd.
